Confident-borderline-cocky

Sitting here in the dark, with the TV on, a blocked nose, and multiple trips to the toilet, my mind wanders to first impressions…

So just to empty my mind of the issue, which would hopefully send me into a coma until my alarm sounds at 7am. Here’s a top five list of what other’s first impression of me are:

NUMBER 5: Serious
I can’t help it if I look serious when I’m doing nothing. What? You expect me to smile everything you walk by? If so, pay someone to walk five minutes ahead of you to announce your imminent arrival.

NUMBER 4: Skinny
I have no problem with people noticing I’m skinny, but the follow-up “Are you suffering from something?”, really gets under my skin. As if I would tell you my condition the first time I meet you. Unless, of course, you have the qualification of being a doctor.

NUMBER 3: Smart/Clever 
It’s always nice to be complimented. But I must say, your criteria of gauging someone’s intellectual level is really flawed if you can tell whether a person is smart/clever when you first meet them. Oh, by-the-by, I AM smart AND clever.

NUMBER 2: Crazy
I sometimes do crazy things when around those I am close to. It’s merely just to entertain them. I act silly and stupid from time to time as a way for my friends and I to laugh. Unlike most, I know when to make a total ass of myself and laugh about it. Something that most are terrified of. Poor insecure souls.

NUMBER 1: Poyo
“Ini Amir la!”. And instantly people get peeved. Now, once and for all, I’m gonna lay it straight. I only say those words around people who truly know me. Those words are part of a bigger picture, a longer essay. If you happen to be in the vicinity and overheard those words, then make a hypothesis from it; then you, are, guilty, of, eavesdropping. Gossip much?

The one constant factor of all these points? Assumptions.

So all I’m gonna say is take your assumptions, and your justification, and shove it up where the sun don’t shine.

If you want someone to truly understand you, then take the time – a significant time – to actually get to understand others.

Because when you do, you will see that I’m the confident-borderline-cocky type…

…and I am the embodiment of AWESOMENESS.

Adios!
